Explanation
Correct answer: B.
Choice B is correct. Each given equation is written in slope-intercept form, , where is the slope and is the y-intercept of the graph of the equation in the xy-plane. The graphs of two lines that have different slopes will intersect at exactly one point. The graph of the first equation is a line with slope . The graph of the second equation is a line with slope . Since the graphs are lines with different slopes, they will intersect at exactly one point.
Desmos solution:
Note: The two lines have different slopes (1 and 8), so they intersect at exactly one point.

Why the other choices are wrong
Choice A
Choice A is incorrect because two graphs of linear equations have intersection points only if they are parallel and therefore have the same slope.
Choice C
Choice C is incorrect because two graphs of linear equations in the xy-plane can have only , , or infinitely many points of intersection.
Choice D
Choice D is incorrect because two graphs of linear equations in the xy-plane can have only , , or infinitely many points of intersection.
